Well..they say that the archives are now available back to 2006 but every time I try to view an older issue I'm told that I need to log in (which I already have). Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

I have nearly two cases of a 'bourbon barrel' porter that tasted terrible when I brewed it three years ago. Threw both in the crawl space and forgot about them. Pulled one out last month for s***s & giggles and couldn't believe how much the beer had improved. Got me a 2nd place in Smoke & Wood-Aged category at the Chicago Beer Society's Spooky Brew comp.

First time I've ever attempted to scale down a recipe. I think I was able to get the grain bill calculated correctly but am having a hard time figuring out how to convert the recipe from 16bbl to 5 gal.
